Detectives seized 1,232 grams of processed hash oil which has an estimated street level value of $25,000-$62,000, 246 pounds of marijuana with a street level value of $123,000, and $7,000 in cash.

Theden and Kite were arrested and booked into the Santa Cruz County Jail.

The charges against them included domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, possession of marijuana and hash oil for sale, manufacturing a controlled substance for sale, and conspiracy.

Lt. Bernie Escalante said, "As demonstrated by previous incidents in the City of Santa Cruz, these hash oil labs are extremely dangerous and can be very explosive. These labs create a significant safety hazard, not only to the residents of the labs, but to the neighbors as well. The butane gas used to extract the oils from the marijuana is odorless, colorless, and extremely flammable. All the butane gas needs is one small source of ignition to cause a fire or explosion."
